AoS is the official maritime and welfare mission agency of the Catholic Church in Great Britain, as well as a registered charity wholly reliant on voluntary contributions. Ninety percent of world trade is carried by ship; however, seafarers often work in dangerous conditions suffering loneliness, deprivation and even exploitation. AoS deploys chaplains and ship visitors who welcome vulnerable merchant seafarers to our shores and provide for their pastoral and practical needs regardless of creed or nationality. Catholic seafarers are also given the opportunity to receive the sacraments. AoS also provides chaplains on board cruise ships, works ecumenically to maintain ecumenical seafarers centres inside ports, and collaborates with industry bodies to speak for seafarers rights. AoS relies on a network of valued parish contacts and volunteers to sustain its development.

We are consecrated publicly by the Bishop to live an independent life within the local church community. Each woman is autonomous, and her pattern of life is planned by herself and approved by the Bishop. She is responsible for her own finances. Other women are consecrated as widows; our vow is for life. Those who wish meet annually for a week at Hyning monastery. This kind of religious life combines freedom with commitment.

The Marist Way is the lay branch of the Marist Congregation, bringing together people who wish to participate in the life and mission of the Church in the 'Spirit of Mary', a way envisaged by Jean-Claude Colin, founder of the Marists, who are Priests, Sisters, Brothers and Laity. Marists endeavour to think, feel, judge and act as Mary did, at Nazareth and at Pentecost. All Marists believe that Mary maintains a special interest in bringing the women and men of our time into contact with her Son, Jesus. They feel called to share in this concern of Mary's and to become part of her family to work on her behalf. The term 'the work of Mary' describes this essentially missionary spirit.
